» Akkukemikaalitehtaa sta » Construction of battery chemicals plant proceeds as planned
» Strongly growing production of electric vehicles accelerates demand of nickel In 2018, demand of electric vehicles increased 63 percent compared to 2017. After commissioning, Terrafame’s new factory will produce nickel and cobalt sulphates suitable for electric vehicle battery manufacturing and ammonium sulphate – a new by-product – which is used as fertiliser. Construction works for the solvent extraction building at the battery chemicals plant were started. The plant will employ appr. 150 persons after commissioning.

» Events following the reporting period Stacking of new ore started on 20 April. Liner structures of the primary leaching area were repaired 18 March – 20 April. Repairs of the structures decreased ore mining and stacking volumes but did not affect production in the metals production plant.
» Short-term outlook Terrafame will continue to develop production and improve cost efficiency. In 2019, the Government is expected to issue a decision on the application for a uranium recovery permit. Construction of the battery chemicals plant is ongoing.
